Digital divide

The digital divide is considered to be the gap between regions and people who have access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) and those who do not. The latter include most people in less well-off countries of the world, including Africa.

There are programs and projects that are intended to address this gap, including but not limited to so-called ICT4D and ICT4E (ICT for development and for education) projects.
